TDC Wayne Charvel

I've had this old 78-80 Charvel made DiMarzio stamped Star and strathead neck that I've been wanting to put together but can't decide a proper era correct finish that would pay proper homage to his legacy

A candy red or Pelham blue would look good with that binding.

Are you going to use one of those locking nut replacements? Or, just install a standard OFR?

I dunno 😕 that's part of my problem, I kinda wanna keep it era specific stock form and also Floyd Rose trems don't play very nicely with 2 3/16th heel width... decisions, decisions 🤔

Maybe then a Brass Factory bridge, and one of those doohickeys that convert an OFR nut shelf to a standard nut?

Yep, that's actually the direction I'm thinking, or maybe a non-fine tuner Floyd?.. Actually, I just need a piece of matching rosewood to make a nut slot

Right. Won’t take much to fill in the missing wood. An NFT OFR would kick ass with locking tuners.

Or just use another neck... but it's a 21 fretter 🤣
